I tend to think that art should be admired because it's beautiful and not because it's difficult to reproduce
- Dirlewanger 6y agoPeople find it and other post-modernist works "beautiful" mainly because it pisses off the previous generation of artists. It has no other reason for existing otherwise. It's bereft of any soul or meaning. David Foster Wallace highlights this best.
- erulabs 6y agoI can't think of less meaningful information than why someone believes why someone else believes something is beautiful. How could you possibly know that?
- Bodell 6y agoThis reeks of literal illiteracy, as well as a lack of visual aesthetic literacy. I'm not trying to sling mud here but I'd be really embarrassed by this if I were you. This is near saying that jazz music is just noise, despite whoever saying it likely not being able to even keep up with a basic chord chart. Or possibly it would be more appropriate, to imagine someone able to do a quick and dirty script in python, not understanding that CPU architecture is more nuanced and complicated simply because they know nothing about it. One is not necessarily better than the other, but you yourself are the one losing out from your inability to appreciate things outside of your comfort zone.
- munificent 6y agoI tend to think art should encompass all of the many ways it can provoke an interesting, thoughtful reaction in the viewer. If we reduce art to just pretty things, then consuming art will rarely help us grow as people.
